    My Mother taught mentally challenged children 42 years. I didn’t understand as a child why she worked all day and sometimes she would bring the children home on weekends. IWe was always taught that everyone was different, special in their own way. It was like we didn’t notice the difference in others. I thank my mother she gave us a joy no one could ever take from us. This movie took me back to those time that we defended and protected those that couldn’t protect themselves and we loved it. ❤ Kimberly Elise is AMAZING I’ve laughed, cried and done it again! This movie is one that should be watched by children across the country. The world would be a better place and just maybe they would understand what we all need and that’s Love.❤

I was young and I still can remember that moment and cry like I'm 10 again. Because of that moment, and my learning disabilities. I never thought I could or would accomplish much. This story is amazing. She is absolutely incredible.

      The name of the girl who poked Loretta's head and called her "stupid" was Alice and she was a traitor. First, she asked Loretta for help in getting a petition signed and raising money to form a girl's track team. Then, she stabbed Loretta in the back by telling the coach she was handicapped so she could not be on the team. No wonder Loretta didn't want her as a friend after she finally came into her own, and I didn't blame her one bit. Alice didn't know what she was missing in the long run.

      This happens a lot. When the victim of bullying finally decides to fight back and defend themselves, they are labelled as the aggressor, attacker and bad person. Many times they end up getting expelled or unfairly disciplined, yet the bully gets away with it and continues bullying them and other people.

    Loretta overcame so many obstacles of abusive behavior from her classmates, and then at the work place for mentally challenged. She was expected to act as though the abuse was inconsequential by social worker. Im glad she overcame obstacles to achieve her goals . Het mother had it rough trying to raise 6 children on a housekeeper's wages in the 1960s -1970s. Her brother and her teacher really cared for her. Her mom loved her but was broken. Kimberly Elise is a dynamic actress on the same level as her godmother, the late great Cicely Tyson. The woman who played Eunice Shriver looks like she really is a Kennedy.

    Watching this movie reminded me of the bullying that happened to me in school years ago & the fighting back that I should’ve done, but didn’t do. I am very proud of Loretta Claiborne & her success. Her fighting back was something that I regret not doing when I should’ve done it.

      Please don’t blame yourself. When our survival gets challenged, in this case when we get bullied, it is normal that everyone have their own reactions. Sometimes I used to fight back and other times I used to freeze. It is called Fight-flight- freeze response. I hope this makes you feel better and know, you’re not alone ❤I give you a hug 🫂

I never forget my Grandmother seeing the commercials for this film and saying that our family was going to watch it. I could relate to her story because people mistreated me as well. Because I was gifted but yet challenged. . My Mother was like Mrs. Claiborne a single mother who had a special needs daughter. Although the odds were stacked up against me my Mother still fought through the challenges and I became a true success story. Those who wants mistreated me actually ended up congratulating me.

      Have you ever thought of going to a therapist or counselor to find out what kind of learning disability you have? I myself was born prematurely and knew all along that I was different but didn't realize I had issues with social skills until I struggled to find a job. (I started out in Special Ed and was bullied like Loretta in elementary and middle school.) Finally, at 30, I saw a psychologist and she said that, based on patterns of behavior she observed, I had Asperger Syndrome, a disorder high up on the autistic scale. I was actually relieved by this diagnosis because it gave me a better understanding of who I really am and guided me in finding a place to fit in. I ended up getting a job as a teacher's aide in Special Services and worked there faithfully for over ten years until I had my own children.

Since we have a deep sense of conviction to believe that whatever life trows at us at the end all would be ok and well in Jesus Name. There are many Loretta’s out there if only they would get a helping hand. This movie is an eye opener for all of us. All persons with disabilities needs is a helping hand, a chance and to be motivated that they can achieve something, regain their self worth and full potential.

And the most important part of the story was RITA who from the beginning always believed in her & never gave up on Loretta. And her social worker who wouldn't take no for an answer either. Valid point about her so called "classmate" who treated her like crap in school but jumped on the "bandwagon" once Loretta was famous. Glad Loretta put her in her place.

    • @Swenson1970
      @Swenson1970 Год назад +5

      People who mistreat others with special needs think they are smart but are really misinformed, superficial, and narrow-minded. They do not understand, or want to understand, that everybody learns differently and has unique personalities, capabilities, and limitations. I, myself, grew up with an unspecified "learning disability" but was not officially diagnosed with Asperger's until adulthood. Like Loretta, I started out in Special Ed. and suffered from bullying as a kid, then went on to become an honors student in undergraduate college with a major in French and a minor in Spanish. I was a track athlete in Special Olympics, like Loretta, for six years before I got married. I also worked in Special Services, like you, for over ten years before having my own children. A lot of famous people are believed to have had Asperger's Syndrome, such as Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Mozart, Beethoven, and Thomas Jefferson.
